The extreme microbiomes are those microorganisms thriving under
extreme conditions where no other living being will have any chance to
survive. The extreme habitats are those presenting high temperatures
(thermophiles), low temperature (psychrophiles), hypersaline
environments (halophiles), low and high pH (Acidophiles/alkaliphiles),
high pressure (Piezophiles) are distributed worldwide. The extreme
habitats have proved to offer a unique reservoir of genetic diversity
and biological source of extremophiles. The extremophilic microbial
diversity and their biotechnological potential use in agricultural and
industrial applications will be a milestone for future needs.
Extremophiles and their cell components, therefore, are expected to
play an important role in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, paper
and textile industries as well as environmental biotechnology.
